From the episode

For the Raiders, they, of course, are hoping for a bounce back for the entire offense and for Kirk Cousins in particular. They have Bills, Rams, Jets, 49ers, Seahawks, Broncos in a row. That is a long stretch of very good opponents, very good defenses. They are not there yet. They still want Kirk Cousins to be the starting quarterback and Fernando Mendoza to learn from the bench. But if the streak grows much longer, you have to believe that the Raiders will at least think about making the change.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Kirk Cousins facing brutal schedule; Raiders considering QB change if losses mount.

Kirk Cousins and the Raiders offense are hoping for a bounce back. The Raiders have lost two in a row and face a brutal stretch: Bills, Rams, Jets, 49ers, Seahawks, Broncos—a long stretch of very good opponents and defenses. While the Raiders still want Cousins to be the starting quarterback with Fernando Mendoza learning from the bench, if the losing streak grows much longer, management will at least think about making a quarterback change.
